Safe surfing

The BBC have a story about the latest Internet Explorer issue that could endanger your PC.

Make sure you have the latest version by running Windows Update as soon as possible.

Generally you will be safer if you use an alternative browser such as the brilliant Firefox or, even better, use Linux, but that's one for those who are willing get to learn a different system. I use Ubuntu Linux. You can get a CD that lets you try it without installing anything.

Windows can be safe if you take precautions. Use a firewall and virus checker, don't click on anything you are not sure of, including attachments in emails from strangers.

There are plenty of site with further information, including this one.
